Distinct mechanisms of CNV formation at the human 15q13.3 locus
2026-03-05
Abstract excerpt
Human chromosome 15q13.3 is a hotspot for recurrent pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs), which remain unresolved at the sequence level. We generated haplotype-resolved assemblies for 10 patient-parent trios and found that both the long (“BP4-BP5”) and short (“CHRNA7”) forms of 15q13.3 CNVs arise predominantly by non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) enabled by inversion polymorphisms. While most BP4-BP5 C...
